Ted Barnett, MD, FACLM, known as the “High-Tech Doctor with Low-Tech Solutions,” is President and Founder of Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute (RLMI). A board-certified Interventional Radiologist, Mammographer, and Body Imager with Borg & Ide Imaging in Rochester, NY, Dr. Barnett is also a leader in the growing field of lifestyle medicine.

Since 2018, RLMI has delivered its ACLM-certified 15-Day Whole-Food Plant-Based Jumpstart to nearly 3,000 participants in all 50 states and 12 countries, with nearly 500 clinicians referring patients to the program.

Dr. Barnett speaks nationally about the intersection of food systems, chronic disease, and climate change, challenging both the healthcare sector and environmental advocates to recognize dietary change as one of the most immediate and scalable climate solutions available.

As he puts it: “The procedure room saves lives one patient at a time. Food systems change can save them by the millions.”
